I think it's good that you have reevaluated your plans for the rest of the year and adjusted them.<br><br>One of our kids has a similar issue to Goldilocks and since I have no answers for myself, I've got no advice to offer you either, but I will be watching to see how this new strategy works for you and I will pray for patience and wisdom for you and for a heart change for Goldilocks.Sharlahttp://thechaosandtheclutter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433432269947587061.post-5228348844170319732013-03-20T05:20:36.850-07:002013-03-20T05:20:36.850-07:00You have accomplished so much, Dawn, when you had ...You have accomplished so much, Dawn, when you had so much going on. I also love your flexibility. I told Nick last night that I think that you're the most amazing homeschooling mom. You've always been an inspiration to me.<br><br>I understand your concerns with Goldilocks; I had the same concerns with Jay. Reading and math have been his biggest struggles. When he was tutored in the Wilson Reading Program, he progressed in reading. Teaching Textbooks, which was the best program ever for Nate, was not a good fit for Jay. Now that he's in school, I'll be curious to see if he's able to learn math. That way, we can figure out how much was attitude and how much was a disability.<br><br>I hope you'll update us on how she does these next 10 weeks. Media is the best reward around here; praying that it is an incentive for Goldilocks!<br><br>Blessings,<br>DeniseDenisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04920110232443808965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433432269947587061.post-74305584946483036622013-03-19T19:38:11.720-07:002013-03-19T19:38:11.720-07:00Oh yes, abilities v disabilities, that has been my...Oh yes, abilities v disabilities, that has been my kids too to varying degrees...even still. =/<br>Praying for everything to click.<br>Blessings,<br>Laurielahbluebonnethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14950236885711745357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433432269947587061.post-47624494053044035722013-03-19T15:29:58.101-07:002013-03-19T15:29:58.101-07:00So sorry for the struggles.

That is a real weak area for us. I just don't do much of anything.

We have had such similar circumstances this year and they have affected our schooling as well. I think you have done a remarkably wonderful job! I like the idea you had to "do something that received public recognition and criticism each quarter." That is a great idea. I will have to think about how we can add this to our school schedule. I also understand about disabilities and attitudes and how it is hard to separate the two sometimes. I struggle with this as well.Phyllishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09217282962233011656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433432269947587061.post-85943341712877369302013-03-19T07:05:00.194-07:002013-03-19T07:05:00.194-07:00I can't believe how much you have accomplished...I can't believe how much you have accomplished with all the changes and curves life has thrown at you. Isn't it amazing how kids learn no matter what? I LOVE the goal you had about "something that received public recognition and criticism each quarter.". That is wonderful. I may 'borrow' that idea from you. I hope things get better with Goldilocks. I think all kids go through stages where they enjoy 'learning' more than other times. I know Keilee did.
